Could you please give a more clear example about that "in a nutshell" phrase? :)

June 05, 2015

- Please explain the meaning of life in a nutshell.
- Here is our business proposal: in a nutshell, we want to sell our company to you.
- To put it in a nutshell, you need to rewrite your essay.

---

The important point about "in a nutshell" is that you're not telling a long, detailed story. You're giving a really short summary of the main idea.

Hello. From what I've learned, when we use Have/has, the verb after that must be in a form of perfect tense. But why ppl use I HAVE GOT instead of I HAVE GOTTEN? thank you.

June 05, 2015

Here's why. 😉 (Source: http://bit.ly/1IpBoJt)

Can you explain what's the meaning of "blissfully uneventful" ?

June 05, 2015

It means that you were happy because nothing happened, i.e., it was very relaxing: "The couple enjoyed a blissfully uneventful dinner while their kids were away at summer camp."

'until he came out of metaphorical closet' can u tell me what is the meaning of this?

June 05, 2015

It means that he told everyone that he was gay. (He didn't literally come out of the place where he keeps his clothes.) There is no need to put "metaphorical," since "come out of the closet" now is the standard idiom for "to announce that one is a gay man or a lesbian."

I'm still confuse of "neither" & "either", can you tell the difference please?

June 05, 2015

We use EITHER ... OR when we want to refer to a choice between two possibilities:

---

- Nan feels like eating EITHER tacos OR ramen for lunch.
- Henry will EITHER wash his car OR write 100 test questions today.
- Peter will be EITHER skiing OR snowboarding when we see him later this afternoon.

---

We use NEITHER ... NOR when we want to say that two or more things are NOT true:

---

- NEITHER Henry NOR Peter feels like going to the gym today.
- We like NEITHER to study NOR to write papers on such a beautiful day.
- Nan wants to watch NEITHER the movies on Netflix NOR the videos on YouTube.

when we use the word 'tho'

June 05, 2015

"Tho" is an informal abbreviation of "though." You should NEVER use it in essays or assignments for school.

---

Nan: Let's go home!
Henry: I'm hungry tho.

---

Nan: That doughnut costs too much.
Henry: It looks delicious tho. Let's get it.

---

Again, DO NOT use it in formal writing.

"I" can be used with other verbs: I eat too much. I like to read "One Piece." I draw Sasuke Uchiha when I'm bored. I play bass guitar for fun. (And so on.)

what it correct? "to have an experience in establishments that [are? or is?] related to culinary"

June 04, 2015

It depends on what the subject of the sentence is. It's hard to tell because your example is an incomplete sentence. If the subject is "an experience" (singular), then it should be "is"; if it's "establishments," then it should be "are."

---

Here is a better way to express a related idea: "The position requires experience working at culinary establishments" or even simpler, "The position requires experience working at a restaurant."

I still confused about using "maybe" and "might be"

June 04, 2015

"Maybe" (adverb) = perhaps; possibly: Maybe she made a mistake by choosing this college. Maybe I shouldn't eat so much before going to bed.

---

"Might be" (verb phrase) = I might be going to work this Sunday. Nan's uncle might be the only one who thinks that Juventus will beat Barça on Saturday.
